Re: Zend API changes

It is obvious that this project has a tremendous amount of effort from many people. Would it make sense to have someone, or a small group of people, whose task is to handle all of the release / testing issues? They would be "handed" over a release candidate from the development group to test and collect reports on. They then verify and classify all bugs and send reports back to the development team on a pre-determined time schedule, i.e. every 4 hours or such. As the test person / group collects reports, the development team works on new features / already known issues. Once new issues are reported, they are fixed and marked off the report list. After the release candidate is declared stable, it is put out there. This keeps the burden of trying to maintain a bug list, and deal with release issues off of the main pipeline of the development team.
